We're supporting an Indiana-based manufacturer of tactical fuel and water systems. If you enjoy turning requirements into manufacturable designs backed by analysis, let's talk.

• Do you transform requirements and standards into clear, feasible design criteria?
• Can you move from napkin sketch to robust CAD model—and document every decision?
• Do you lead milestone reviews that keep projects on time and on spec?
• Are your BOMs complete, accurate, and production-ready?
• Do you rely on CAE/CFD to validate thermal/flow/structural performance before metal is cut?
• Can you create unambiguous drawings that machinists trust?
• Do you collaborate closely with machine shops to protect design intent?
• Are you comfortable supporting builds and resolving issues on the floor?
• Can you produce schematics that communicate mech–electrical interfaces at a glance?
• Do you partner with vendors to integrate the right technologies at acceptable cost and timing?

• Requirements analysis against customer expectations and industry norms.
• End-to-end design: concept development, CAD, and documentation control.
• Structured design reviews to manage deliverables and de-risk schedules.
• Accurate BOM creation and maintenance.
• Virtual validation through CAE and CFD, plus targeted testing.
• Release of detailed manufacturing drawings.
• Shop collaboration to ensure manufacturability and quality.
• Post-manufacturing and assembly support.
• Mechanical/electrical schematic development for clear interfaces.
• Vendor engagement for technology selection and problem-solving.

• BS or MS in Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering (or related).
• 5+ years in design, development, and product release.
• Expertise in CAD; SolidWorks preferred.
• Proficiency in CAE/CFD with a track record of performance optimization.
• Strong structural design foundation.
• Six Sigma certification preferred; PE preferred; PMP a plus.
• Familiarity with 3D printing/additive manufacturing.
• History of workflow optimization and accelerating time-to-market.
• Experience leading cross-functional efforts with engineering, manufacturing, and quality.
